John G. Cramer

The string theorists who wrote the preprint (not a published paper) about "fate" preventing the operation of the LHC were being facetious. I note that the RHIC facility that I use had a somewhat similar disaster when it was starting up, but it has been in operation now for almost a decade without destroying the universe (yet). [note: the "yet" is me being facetious.]

On various online forums I had been pointing out the parallels between the "fate" paper and EINSTEINS'S BRIDGE.

Reminds me of a causality-preserving mechanism suggested, I believe, by Larry Niven. If you build a time machine and go back and try to change the past, the universe will prevent you from doing so by the simplest means possible, which is ... you guessed it ... no time machines will be built!

Dear Mark,



You are probably correct about the 6 figures. The new specialized equipment I'm using cost around $30k. That does not include the much larger cost of the already established laser physics laboratory I'm using, which was previously occupied by Nobel Laureate Hans Dehmelt. There is an article in American Journal of Physic, vol. 72 #2... See More. pp.127-140, February 2005, by E. J. Galvez, et al. describing how a group in the Colgate U. Physics Dept. set up a quantum optics lab as part of their laboratory courses for advanced undergraduates. They reported a total cost of $25k with about $9k for specialized items. However, I could not do my experiment with their setup.

A speed distance experiment? Whatcha proving? Using both red and green lasers? I'm curious...

The experiment is to see if quantum non-locality can be used for communication.

The Violet laser is for the experiment. The green is a laser pointer used to test alignment of the equiptement to save the laser for the experiment.

Is there a paper on this?

Thanks John--so your ideas could lead to instantaneous communications gadgets then! By the way, the mission is to all the planets in the Solar System, not to the star Anataries---the ship is named Antaries. For a good summary, with good shots and videos, see--

More people should watch this show--it has potential I think...

Hi John,

You may want to take a look at the most recent episode of Defying Gravity-

This episode can bring new viewers up to date, and also reveals the true nature of the mission--with a physics slant you may find interesting.

By the way, you seem to have disappeard off of my friends list... :(

Mark

I've got this Gribbin along with the earlier work, IIRC "Schrodinger's Cat".

I read those years ago, and suspected that your work was what he was talking about. Now I know, thanks!

I'll take a look. Or was I supposed to say that? You may never know, unless I come back and do it again! LOL!

Is it about the anchor atoms of Black holes or something more present science?

If his retro causal experiments work, then we'll know where he got all his cool writings from (himself in the future).

... cool writings, indeed!

I've only read the first few chapters, but it is fascinating!

hanks Professor Cramer , for sharing this great idea ,.. incredible ,.....-:)))

I remembered the vision of Kepler ( harmony / symphony of the Cosmos ( at least , the solar system : played by the Planets ) … REALLY thanks Prof .

by the way , is this the best lnike we can use :... See More
